ACADEMICS
Greensboro College prides itself on the
academic environment that is created for our students. With over
26 majors to choose from the decisions are endless. In addition,
many of our students will choose to double major and/or minor in a secondary
subject just to expand opportunities for themselves upon graduation.
Our academic standards have built a solid reputation that will help you
after your Greensboro College days, whether you go on to graduate school
or enter a professional job field.
Our faculty members are first and
foremost teachers. They are here to help you whenever and with whatever
you need. If you ever find yourself getting confused, lagging behind
or generally
needing assistance, each professor
is eager to help. Greensboro College also offers students free, individualized
tutoring in every subject through our PEAK services.
The PEAK (Power to Expand Academic
Knowledge) is our center for academic services. The PEAK offers academic
resources, tutoring, learning disabilities support, academic advising and
study skills workshops.
Our classroom size is approximately
a 16-1 ratio. All classes are led by professors and
professionals in that particular
field of study, each holding an advanced degree or considered one of the
best in their chosen profession. Each professor knows your name and
will get to know you as a person on an individual basis. You will
not be just an ordinary student but a voice that makes a difference.
Outside of the classroom, our students
can take advantage of the multiple opportunities that exist. Involvement
in any one of our 40 school clubs and organizations is a choice that you
will have. In addition, we offer internships, international study
and honors programs. At Greensboro College the choices are endless when
it comes to your education.

FINANCIAL
AID
| Greensboro College is committed to
assisting students and their families in securing the resources necessary
to make an education affordable.
More than 85 percent of all Greensboro
College students receive some type of financial aid through the use of
institutional, federal and state funding in the form of scholarships, grants,
loans and employment (work-study). Students may receive financial
assistance through merit based aid (based on academic achievements and
extracurricular activities), talent-based aid (special scholarships given
for music, theater and art) or need based aid (dependent upon a families
need for assistance).
Although opportunities for merit and
talent- based aid are determined upon acceptance (larger awards may require
special interviews or auditions), need-based aid can only be determined
when:
--a student applies and has been officially
accepted
--the Free Application for Federal
Student Aid (FAFSA) has been received
--the Greensboro College Financial
Data Sheet has been completed.
